For me  to cut a long story short  I had inadvertently downgraded to angular-beta-16   The let     syntax is ONLY valid in 2 0 0-beta 17    If you try the let syntax on anything below this version  You will generate this error   Either upgrade to angular-beta-17 or use the  item in items syntax

I missed let in front of talk    lt div  ngFor  let talk of talks  gt      Note that as of beta 17 usage of      to declare local variables inside of structural directives like NgFor is deprecated  Use let instead    lt div  ngFor   talk of talks  gt  now becomes  lt div  ngFor  let talk of talks  gt   Original answer   I missed   in front of talk    lt div  ngFor   talk of talks  gt    It is so easy to forget that     I wish the Angular exception error message would instead say  you forgot that   again

In my case  the module containing the component using the  ngFor resulting in this error  was not included in the app module ts  Including it there in the imports array resolved the issue for me

In my case I made the mistake of copying  ng-for  from the docs   https   angular io guide user-input  Correct me if I am wrong  But it seems  ng-for  has been changed to  ngFor

Another typo leading to the OP s error could be using in    lt div  ngFor  let talk in talks  gt    You should use of instead    lt div  ngFor  let talk of talks  gt

Use this   lt div  ngFor  let talk of talks gt        talk title         talk speaker       lt p gt   talk description     lt  div gt    You need to specify variable to iterate over an array of an object

Just to cover one more case when I was getting the same error and the reason was using in instead of of in iterator  Wrong way  let file in files  Correct way let file of files

User · Answer

You should use let keyword as to declare local variables  e g  ngFor  let talk of talks
